Disney's Beach Club Resort Tour
Photo Tour: of Disney’s Beach Club Resort at Walt Disney World
Arrival and Lobby Areas
Disney’s Beach Club Resort is a charming, New England-style hotel located just outside of Epcot. The pools, lagoons and spas of Stormalong Bay make this property unique. Sharing many amenities with its more formal sister, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort is within walking distance to Epcot, Disney Skyliner and a convenient boat ride to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Best Rooms at Disney’s Beach Club Resort
In this video I show you my recommended rooms to request here at Beach Club. I also show you where to find the Standard, Resort and Water Views at this hotel. Check out the video here:
Room Categories
Most standard hotel rooms are 380 square feet and come with 2 queen beds and a sofa bed.
There are a handful of rooms that do not have the sofa bed.
If you need the sofa bed, let me know so I can enter a request for you. Requests are not guaranteed but Disney does try hard to honor this one in particular.
If you have a party of 5, you will almost certainly get a room with a sofa bed automatically, but I would still note it on the reservation.
Rooms have full size balconies, patios (ground level) or what I call mini-balconies. These are balconies that have just enough room for one person to stand on. If you prefer a full-size balcony or a patio, this should be entered as a request. (Requests cannot be guaranteed).

Theme Park Transportation
Complimentary boat service to Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios is provided.
Walking paths are also available. Epcot is about a 10 minute walk away and often the fastest way. Hollywood Studios is a 20 minute walk but there is limited shade. I recommend taking a boat.
Complimentary bus service is provided to Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the Disney water parks, and Disney Springs.
